Celebrating an anniversary, Rottweiler style.

Now back to the story. Because my daughter has been pestering me to send her some photos of her Mom and Dad, I decided this afternoon to set up the camera and use the new shutter remote to take a few pictures. And you instantly know why this story is being posted on a Rottweiler blog. Because we live with Rottweilers.The first photo went off without a hitch. It was a quiet afternoon and for some strange reason we were along in the family room and had the couch all to ourselves.

Then we were joined by Bessie. She probably noticed the flash going off and that always means I'm taking pictures. She walked in and jumped on the couch and immediately gave her Mom a kiss.

Then, when I thought Bess was going to lay down on the couch, I thought I could bring the rest of the family in for a group shot. Sort of like a practice run for our next Christmas card. So I called Ruffin and Axl. The big guy came in but Axl was sound asleep in the other room and never joined us.

The minute the two love birds locked eyes on each other, they decided to have another play session. They act this way wherever I take them, even to the Vet's office last week.

About Me

Having worked in the airline business for 40 years for two major airlines I retired over 15 years ago to my dream home in rural Kentucky. My life was changed in 2017 when Jacqueline, my wife of 56 years, passed away. Now I spend all my time enjoying the remainder of my retirement with my last two Rottweilers, Bess and Ruff. This blog is not about me, it is about the Rottweilers who stole my heart and have filled my life with their love. I plan to update this blog with future posts of our adventures but will begin, as all good stories do, at the beginning. The story began in 1995. You can follow it in the Blog Archive on the left with some of the pages I saved from my original web site.
